The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

I saw this movie today.

I read reviews after watching it.

Here is MY view. This is a seminal film. Great acting by Pitt and Blanchett, extraordinary cgi and make-up.

In 2008, this is a film that epitomizes what can be done with the real and the computerized.

Pitt's stillness is simply wonderful. Blanchett shines on so many levels its like the sun has risen on a new age of acting.

I look forward to future movies and hope the writing can keep up. That the stories don't devolve to the current comic book mentality. That adult interests are considered in it all...

Use movie critics after the fact, maybe to fill in the blanks, to add to YOUR information. Watch LOTS of flicks. Make up your own mind. Watch more movies. Repeat.

Its the same for any art form: dance, music, painting, sculpture, fiber art, photography... Experience LOTS of it, maybe make your own art, then and only then see what the critics have to say and be absolutely willing to ignore them all.
